Two announcements tie into each other, the release of 4K Blu-rays of the Heisei Gamera trilogy, as well as the showing of 1995's Gamera: Guardian Of The Universe in a limited cinema release. The Heisei trilogy features each film in a two disc set including the 4K HDR and standard Blu-ray versions, these sets feature a 20 page booklet, the 4K are mastered from the original 35mm negatives while the standard Blu-rays are the same as the ones released in the 2016 box set, they will each feature commentary from many involved in each film, and more.
